Are you tired of all the parenting books full of strategic checklists,
how-to advice and quick tips? While some of the books are actually really
helpful, Christina Fox, Sharon Betters and young mom Melissa Weisenfels
talk through what it means to parent through the grid of how our heavenly
father parents us, His children. They touch on questions like:
How can a better understanding of God’s character, i.e. His consistency,
discipline, patience, provision, unconditional love, and even boundaries
give us a roadmap for helping our children navigate the comparison trap,
rebellion against boundaries, and more. But they also talk about their own
feelings of failure and how to live with a broken heart when children
reject their faith. Christina encourages us that as God’s beloved
creatures, we bear His image—that is, we show others who He is as we
glorify Him. Is anything more important to pass on to our children than
this?
